I know that a thread came up about sneaking LEGO sets into the shopping
cart, but my question is: Do you sneak LEGO sets into the house?
Have you ever gone to the store, bought a set (OK. Several sets), took them
home, left them in the garage where nobody is inclined to look, hidden the
receipt and taken them to your building area when the coast was clear?
Just wondering....

| (...) Hi, my name's Mark, and I'm a LEGO Maniac. Yeah, I've done it, if only to avoid the "how many LEGO sets do you need?" comments. For the sake of household harmony, it's usually better not to counter with "How many pairs of shoes do you need?" (...) (23 years ago, 17-Jan-01, to lugnet.general)

Last night we spent about $78 on sets at WalMart and Target. I think we (...) (23 years ago, 17-Jan-01, to lugnet.general)

We both are allocated the same amount to spend on anything we want and the other isn't allowed to question it. We could burn our money, if desired, and the (...)
